MEAT MEN of New Jersey

Saw that it's ridiculous. He's getting a lot of heat for it though which is a good thing. He's another johnny bucktails. When there are no stripers left he will be one of the biggest whiners of where did they go.

I was thinking about this and all of the grief that the big party boats are getting. Does anyone think that the 6-pack Charters and the private boaters do more damage than the party boats? Because that's all I'm seeing lately it is all of these small boats out there with the limits. Nothing wrong with that, but there's an awful lot of stripers being eaten in the last two weeks. Before they get a chance to spawn.

That's a legal catch isn't it? I see nothing wrong with it. The Capt's got to make a living. Totally within the regs.

Yeah but even though its legal some of those fish look like big cows. One of the big ones each should be enough to feed your family. The rest is just about ego and chest pounding.

The captain of that boat use to be the captain of one of the canyon runner boats and is out to prove he is a better captain than the canyon runner boats all ego.

^^^^^ So because one guy who used to work for another guy is out to prove he is the biggest swinging D*** at the marina, the maximum amount of stripers has to be killed each time and laid out on the dock as bragging rights? Most awesome, not.

Legal,yes. But necessary, no.
Regulations are terrible.
Jersey meat men....greed and senseless killing.

May 9, 2017 the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission debated on whether or not an increase in striped bass harvest of about 10% should be allowed for next year. The motion to take the increase out to public hearings failed 10 votes to 5. Hooray! NJ, DE, MD, VA, and the Potomac River Fisheries Commission – a shill organization that simply provides the Chesapeake Bay states an extra vote – all voted in favor, and all other states voted against. What changed from the first vote was that CT, NY, NC all changed their votes from yes to no, and that did it for us
